Chapter 4

We flew over the trees until finally Peter yanked on my arm up to the sky. I held on to my cap for dear life. I looked down at my ankles. Danny was holding on to my ankle for dear life as his sister held on to his. I looked back up at Peter. Tink looked down at us and smiled evilly. Suddenly we flew so fast that I scream on the top one my lungs. As we reached closer to the star I could tell it wasn't one at all but a planet.

The water was clear and blue as the sky. The land was green untouched by man. As we got even closer I saw that the land was different. One part of the island was snow white with dark clouds hanging over. Another was covered in red, orange and brown leaved trees. The last remanding two looked like spring and summer. Peter stopped at a cloud hanging over head.

"We have to be careful of Captain Hook." Peter whispered to us.

"Captain Hook. I thought he was dead." Jane murmured. She looked down in worry. Her eyes were wide with fear. She turned to Peter.

Well, her Fairytale just came crashing down. I thought.

"Wendy probably told you a happier story so you could go to sleep at night." Peter's hand went to the right side of his chest. I shivered remembering in the story where Captain Hook stabbed Peter in the chest with his hook.

"What do now?" Danny asked.

"We need to figure out how to distract him." Peter said. We all looked at him. "What?"

"Nothing." We said in unison. I reached into my knap sack. Digging through I found binoculars. I looked into them. I saw the Jolly Roger with tons of disgusting pirates on it. After searching for Captain Hook for a little while I found him. I almost dropped the binoculars in surprise. Hook had black wavy hair that lay underneath his hat. I looked at his hand and saw the menacing hook. I reached for my own chest. My hand cover the area where I saw Hook shoot the bullet in my dreams. Then he turned to look at the sky in our direction.

"Get down." I hissed warning them. Peter pulled Danny and Jane down, hiding them behind the cloud. I laid down on the cloud also. I held my breath. I waited another minute before looking again. Hook had turned around. "Clear."

"James, give me the binoculars." Peter ordered. I gave them to him not wanting to start a fight. He looked at the ship and turned back to us. "Ok, it's simple. All we have to do is fly down to the island. I will distract the pirates."

"Are you insane? We're dead-meat if we do that." I said to Peter angrily. I gestured to Jane and Danny. "We don't know where the hide-out is."

"Tink can take you." Peter said. I looked at him and glared.

"We will be seen and caught. No way are we doing that."

"Maybe we should listen to Peter." Jane said. Danny nodded in agreement.

"Yeah then you'll get hurt and die." Tink said sarcastically.

"No!" I yelled, horrified if one of them got hurt.

"Then what do you think we should do, Sherlock?" Peter asked sarcastically.

"I'll distract them while you fly to safety."

"And how would you get their attention?"

"Pretending I'm you.

"How would you do that?" Jane asked. I smiled at the question. I turned towards Peter.

"You can still throw your voice right?" I asked directing the question to Peter. He looked insulted like I had said he was a horrible person.

"Yeah." Peter answered. "Why do you need to ask?"

"All part of my plan."

I hid behind one of the clouds directly over head of the Jolly Roger. Tink sat on my shoulder waiting. I turned to look at the cloud Peter, Jane and Danny were on. I waited as they gave me the signal. Jane waved her hands. I nodded.

I heard Peter yell. "Up here you dirty pirates!"

I looked in the binoculars. They all looked to Peter's way. I looked at Jane and waved my hands. Then I flew away from the cloud. I played the highest and loudest note on the Pan-flute. I stopped.

Peter threw his voice in my direction. "No! Over here you dumb pirates!"

I did a summersault in the air. Moving in closer I waited and saw a cannonball fly toward me. Dodging it another one came flying my way. I looked in Peter, Jane and Danny's direction. They were flying to the middle of the island. Peter nodded. I flew in closer to the ship trying to keep their eye on me. I stared to fly close but another cannon ball flew at me. Again I barely dodged it.

James that was too close for comfort. Tink informed. I nodded in agreement. I looked back at the pirates then in Peter, Jane and Danny's direction.

I know. You should go warn The Lost Boys to keep an eye out for any intruders.

But?

Go! I ordered. Tink nodded and flew off. Then the cannon were directed the other way facing toward the island. I quickly flew to the ship.

I flew over top. The crew was busy focusing on Peter, Jane and Danny they didn't notice me. Quickly I played the high note again they turned to me and fired the cannon. I couldn't move. I had no time. Before it came close I was pulled up and toward the island. I looked to see Peter pulling me.

"That was too close." He laughed. I stared for the moment then laughed also. I flew in a spiral then flew normal. I joined Jane and Danny as we flew over the forest. I hugged Jane and Danny both relieved that they were alright. We followed Peter until suddenly he dove to the thick green. I lost sight of him. Jane, Danny and I flew in the canopy of trees. We searched in the air until an arrow zipped past my head.

It cut me on the side of my face. My hand shot up to touch it till another arrow flew our way. I dove to the ground dragging Jane and Danny with me. I heard a rustle in the brush. Jane and Danny hid behind me. Picking the biggest stick I could find I held it like a sword. Then I reached down to pick up a rock. As I was about ready to throw it at the bush I heard someone yell and six boys came out. I held my stick in my left hand and the rock in the right. Then they stopped, seeing Jane, Danny and I. they looked at one another. I assumed they were the Lost Boys by them being boys. They were dressed in leaves and vines like Peter and were just as dirty from head to foot.

"Great Tootles, you almost killed our new mother again." A boy with light brown hair said. His was very thin and was the same height as Peter and I.

"I didn't mean to Tink said to keep an eye out for any intruders." A boy who had reddish brown hair, who was probably Tootles, said. He was the same height as Danny. He looked around to the other boys for support.

"Remember the last time you listened to Tink. Wendy was almost killed." Another one said. A band was tied around his head making his black hair stick out.

"Don't fight guys." A boy with curly blonde hair said.

"Don't worry they're not -" a boy with dark brown hair said.

"-dead so no harm done." His twin finished.

"Hey!" The nine of us turned to where the voice came from. I saw Peter fly down to us. Tink flew right behind him trying to catch up. Peter looked at the cut on my cheek he suddenly yelled. "What did you do?"

"Tootles tried to kill our new mother." The boy with black hair said.

"I'm sorry Peter. Tink told me to." Tootles said. Peter turned to Tink. Her little brown eyes blinked as she shook her head. Peter grabbed her.

"Tink! I banish you! You are no longer my-."

"Wait! I was the one who told her to." I interrupted. Everyone looked at me in surprise. "I told Tink to warn the lost boys just in case some of the pirates followed us. I might have not said it right."

Peter looked at me then back at Tink. She nodded. Peter let her go. I sighed in relief. Tink flew over my way and stood on my shoulder. She looked up at me and smiled gratefully. She turned and glared back at Jane then looked at me.

Thank you James.

Don't worry about it. They almost hit me instead of Jane anyway. I thought to Tink.

Sorry, I forgot to mention to them that you were also here. I should have warned them.

"So if you are our new mother then what are our names?" The boy with light brown hair asked Jane. She looked baffled.

"I…uh… I don't…" Jane stammered unable to answer. I rolled my eyes.

"The one who almost shot me was Tootles as you told him. He is the one with the light reddish brown hair." I said. They all looked at me. Tink nodded happily that I answered the question. I continued. "The one standing closest to Peter with the black hair is Nibs. The one with curly blonde hair is obviously Curly. The twins are, well The Twins. And that leaves you… Slightly isn't it?"

They all looked at me. Jane and The Lost Boys had their mouths open in awe. Danny stared wide eyed at me. Peter just stared at me. I smiled triumphantly. Tink was laughing almost falling off my shoulder once.

"Nice job." She laughed. "The look on their faces, priceless!"

"How did you do that?" Nibs asked. His hazel eyes stared at me wide and amazed.

"I could tell you were Nibs because you weren't as cocky as Slightly and didn't have curly hair like Curly. You were the hardest to figure out." I said.

"Ok you know our names. What are yours?" Slightly questioned us.

Jane stepped up handing me my knap sack. She introduced us. "This I Danny and I am your new mother Jane. And this is-"

"James. My name is James." I said.

"Well nice to meet ya." Curly greeted. He reached out his hand to Jane. She saw the dirty hand and looked away. He looked sad at the rejection. He looked down at the ground. His hand was still extended. I instead shook his hand heartily.

"Nice to meet you Curly. Can you lead us to your home?" I asked. They all smiled. The Twins pushed Curly out of the way. Each of The Twins took each of my hands. They lead me to a tree that was as big as Aunt Wendy's house. I looked up in amazement.

We stopped in front of the base of the tree. Peter gave it a knock and a door opened. I peered inside and I felt someone push me in. I screamed as I slid down a slide. I suddenly fell on a bunch of pillows and leaves. Adjusting my hat I looked around. In the room was surrounded by the trees roots.

The Twins slid down the wooden slide to both my sides. Running to the middle of the room I turned to see Jane and Danny sliding behind me. Quickly I helped them up. Danny was in a fit of giggles as I pulled him up. Jane got up and smiled at me. I looked forward to find Peter in an arm chair. Two more lost boys slid behind me and the last two slid down the sides ahead of me.

"Welcome to our home Jane, Danny and James." Peter greeted us. I looked around. I saw Tink. She was still on my shoulder.

Welcome to your new home James.

This might be my home for a little while I thought. I looked at Peter again. He was grinning. My chest felt tight. I didn't know why but I was defiantly excited for what was to come. Whether it be good or bad.
